"Yay! Brother Lei, you're amazing!"

Chen Xueer stood aside, watching Ye Lei engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Corpse King Flying Serpent, and ultimately emerge victorious. She jumped up excitedly and cheered.

"Brother, give it your all! Little Green Snake is about to lose!"

"Daddy, quickly catch the little green snake and make it my pet!"

Hearing these two shouts, Ye Lei was so angry he almost vomited blood. He had almost been strangled to death by the Corpse King Flying Serpent, and these two little guys actually called it Little Green Serpent!

He turned his head and saw that the once arrogant and domineering Corpse King Flying Serpent was now trembling with fear, clearly sensing the approach of death.

Ye Lei attempted to control the Corpse King Flying Serpent, but unfortunately, a system notification immediately sounded in his mind:

[The zombies are too powerful; control has failed]

With no other option, he could only continue to exert force, concentrating all his strength into the hand that was gripping the seven-inch mark. The Corpse King Flying Serpent, who was already in extreme pain, quickly collapsed to the ground.

[Congratulations, host! Zombie affinity has increased to 50%]

Ye Lei understood that his approach had worked, but he dared not exert any more force, lest the soon-to-be-captured Corpse King Flying Serpent perish! Therefore, he could only maintain the current state, carefully preserving this delicate balance.

Time passed second by second, and after a full five minutes, the Corpse King Flying Serpent finally gave up resisting completely. It seemed to realize the power and specialness of the person in front of it. Perhaps this person was the master it had been searching for all along. At this point, the Corpse King Flying Serpent was completely convinced by Ye Lei and willingly submitted to him.

[Congratulations, host! Zombie affinity has increased to 100%]

After hearing the notification tone, Ye Lei released his grip on Qicun and focused his mind again, trying to control the zombie.

Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]

After the system notification, the Corpse King Flying Serpent lowered its proud head, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for his command.

[Please name the zombie for easier control.]

Since it can spray such a powerful poisonous mist, let's call it the Poison Mist Serpent!

[Zombie Name Successfully Acquired: Poisonous Mist Serpent]

As if it understood, the poisonous mist serpent hissed.

Finally, it was all done. Ye Lei stood up, clapped his hands, and staggered drunkenly toward Chen Xue'er, with the Poisonous Mist Serpent following behind him.

"Brother Lei, are you alright?"

Chen Xueer quickly went up to help Ye Lei.

"I drank a bit too much, I'm drunk, haha..."

Ye Lei blushed and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Come on, sit down and rest for a bit."

Chen Xueer helped Ye Lei to the bench at the edge of the square.

"Brother, that's impressive! With such skills, you're truly a hero!"

The leader of the scavenger tribe came down at some point and clapped his hands in praise.

"Who are you?"

Ye Lei feigned ignorance and asked.

"I am but their elder brother, and I am of little talent."

The leader pointed to the scavengers around him and said.

"What can I do for you?"

"It's hot outside, and after this battle, you must be exhausted. We would like to invite you to take a short rest at Yixiantian. Would you all be willing?"

It seems the leader intends to win over Ye Lei.

"A narrow passage? That's your territory. Aren't you afraid I'll go in and take it over?"

Ye Lei looked at the cave entrance and said with a smile.

"Brother, stop joking. You can live here permanently if you like."

"In that case, I'll trouble you. Please lead the way!"

"Brother, please follow me!"

The leader led the way, Chen Xue'er supported Ye Lei, and Xiu Xiu and Hong Hai'er followed behind. The group headed towards the First Line of Heaven. Ye Lei never expected that he would enter the First Line of Heaven in this way.

As soon as Ye Lei reached the entrance of the One Line Sky Cave, the cool breeze blowing out made him dizzy. The high temperature combined with 100% intoxication, suddenly being in a low temperature environment, would be unbearable for anyone. Could it be that the leader wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of him?

"Hey, it's too cold inside. If we go any further in, we might die. Shall we rest here instead?"

Now that he was already up here, Ye Lei decided to be frank.

"No problem, I forgot that you just drank two cases of Wuliangye, brother! You have quite the capacity for alcohol! Come on, bring a table for my brother and serve him some tea!"

It seems the leader didn't intend to harm him; he probably hadn't received news of the deaths of the second and third leaders.

"In that case, thank you, Boss!"

Ye Lei plopped down on the leather chair that had been moved in and clasped his hands in thanks.

"Brother, you should rest here. I have things to do, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After the leader finished speaking, he left in a hurry. The new underling whispered a few words in his ear, which should have been about the second and third leaders.

Ye Lei knew he had to sober up quickly. Although being drunk could improve his attributes, it made him very inconvenient to move around. He took out glucose from his spatial storage and drank it in large gulps in an attempt to sober up quickly.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The leader plopped down on the tiger-skin chair and shouted sternly.

"We've searched every nook and cranny of the First Line of Sky, but we haven't found the Second and Third Leaders!"

The little one lowered his head and said tremblingly.

"With such a commotion outside, those two good-for-nothings must have gone off to fool around somewhere again. Have you looked for them outside?"

"We're sending our men to search the entire scenic area!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Send everyone out!"

"Yes, but, boss, I heard from the brothers outside that they seemed to have seen the two leaders with that woman at the cave entrance."

Are you sure?

"I've only heard about it!"

"Is this the woman I brought up earlier?"

The leader's voice carried a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction.

"Yes, it's her. She looks like a vixen. You know both of the leaders like to play around with women, so..."

The henchman lowered his head, not daring to look the boss in the eye, and said tremblingly.

"Alright, that's enough. Quickly take everyone out to find the two leaders. I'll check those guys at the door!"

The leader suddenly waved his hand, interrupting the henchman. His eyes turned fierce, revealing a resolute aura.

The entire process of Ye Lei subduing the Poisonous Mist Serpent was witnessed by the leader. He knew that this person's origins were unknown and his strength was unfathomable, so he was probably not so easy to deal with.

"Yes, let's go, everyone follow me out to find the whereabouts of the two leaders!"

The henchman shouted, and the brothers in the narrow passage responded, rushing out after him.

By the time Ye Lei passed the cave entrance, he had sobered up considerably. As he watched so many people rush out, he thought to himself: It seems that the two leaders' affair can no longer be kept secret. What should we do next?
